dd, echo * as a poor man's ls if ls is accidentally deleted, busybox, cpio, fsck and fsdb.
Used all of these and more, in Unix, not just Linux crisis situations.
- sneak 3y agoThose are already there. We are talking about diagnostic and recovery tools that should be installed by policy, in advance, so that they are already in place to aid in emergencies.
- vram22 3y agoOkay, my mistake. But busybox is not always already there, right? Installed, I mean? Not at a box right now.
- bostik 3y agoBusybox has one big downside: the tools it provides tend to have a rather ... limited set of options available. The easy stuff you can do in a standard shell might not be supported.
